Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Frame, Janet. An angel at my table. An autobiography : Volume Two. First edition. Auckland: Hutchinson of New Zealand, 1984. Hardback, VG, in unclipped dustjacket with minor shelfwear to edges. Blue cloth, slightly bumped to corners, gilt lettering to spine. Binding strong. 195pp. Mild foxing to top edge of page block. Contents clean and bright. Janet Paterson Frame (28 August 1924 29 January 2004) was a New Zealand author. She was internationally renowned for her work, which included novels, short stories, poetry, juvenile fiction, and an autobiography, and received numerous awards including being appointed to the Order of New Zealand, New Zealand's highest civil honour. Frame's celebrity derived from her dramatic personal history as well as her literary career. Following years of psychiatric hospitalisation, Frame was scheduled for a lobotomy that was cancelled when, just days before the procedure, her debut publication of short stories was unexpectedly awarded a national literary prize. Many of her novels and short stories explore her childhood and psychiatric hospitalisation from a fictional perspective, and her award-winning three-volume autobiography was adapted into the film An Angel at My Table (1990), directed by Jane Campion.

[Wiki] ***'The Envoy from Mirror City is the third volume of the autobiography of the great New Zealand novelist Janet Frame. It tells how the young woman, free at last of the nightmare years in mental hospitals, makes her break with home to embark on the journey to Europe, where all 'real' writers of course must go. ***She shivers in a damp garden shed in Clapham, plied with Peak Frean biscuits and strong Irish tea by the ever-anxious Patrick; dreams of publication (by 'Faber & Faber') with pale poets in cafés in Soho; and travels to Ibiza, where she finds love and haunts the outskirts of the artists' colony. Yet she never loses sight of that shining palace that is Mirror City, whose envoy ever waits at her door to remind her of the calling from which not love nor friendship nor adventure must distract her. **The book is a brilliant and moving evocation of the process by which an uncertain but somehow determined young woman became a writer an artist, in the Europe of thirty years ago.'
